With new anti-harassment law, he will be gone case liao.



Anti-harassment laws to fight ‘social scourge’

"The new laws will seek to protect the public at large against what some had described as a “social scourge”, as Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam put it. Noting widespread public opinion that harassment is unacceptable and that the law must deal firmly with harassers, he said proposed criminal and civil measures laid out in the Protection from Harassment Act address the real need to better protect victims of harassment."

"On Nee Soon GRC MP Patrick Tay’s scenario of harassment taking place overseas when the victim and harasser are on a work trip, for instance, Mr Shanmugam said acts of harassment occurring entirely outside Singapore, “without any nexus whatsoever to Singapore”, should not be prosecuted as is consistent with international law principles on extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction."

Not bad ah, Shanmugam and Patrick Tay pushing for it.
